In the draft resolution, paragraph 1, replace the last sentence with the following sentence:

"The Turkish authorities declared that the members of the Fetullah Gülen Terrorist Organisation/Parallel State Structure (FETÖ/PDY) were behind the coup attempt which prompted the authorities to launch measures in the State institutions that had been infiltrated by the terrorist organisation - a view which seems to be widely accepted by Turkish society."
